November 20th

Well its been a while so here's another post. It's Sunday before Thanksgiving, so I'm excited to work 3 days and then head to Monte to spend a few days with Tyler's family. Then up to Seattle to watch the Cougars beat the Huskies at Apple Cup!

I'm looking forward to lots of fun things in the near future, here's a countdown:

* Christmas in Republic / Wenatchee (I REALLY missed being home on Christmas last year when we were in Mexico)
* New Years in Yosemite with the Fischback cousins. So happy to have fun plans for New Years' Eve!
* Baby Sophia Grace due 1/16/2012! I'm excited to have a niece and hold her for the first time. And... learn how to change my first diaper? ha ha
* Mid-February - THAILAND with Holly & Justin!

But back to the present. I recently was "promoted" at my job. I've been on overload lately so we're hiring someone else to be a receptionist so I can focus on marketing and public relations. It will be so nice to be doing something more related to my degree! I've decided my new title will be Administrative Coordinator.

Tyler's still enjoying his job at the hospital. He's been covering the evening shift for Misty who's on maternity leave, so the 7 on, 7 off schedule from 12-10:30pm has been interesting. I know Kirk's enjoying having dad home in the mornings, and for whole weeks at a time. Once Misty comes back in January (and when the hospital and clinic merge) we'll find out more about the changes that could happen in his department.

I took a photography class with Mary Collier recently and am excited to a part of her "Momtography" Facebook group where we get weekly challenges and can show off our photos to get some constructive criticism. With only Kirky and Tyler as subjects (well Jen's belly too I guess!) I have to force myself to practice.

Here's a shot I took today for the depth of field or "blurry goodness" challenge:
